"I use this treatment once a week. I have very fine, blonde hair and I am trying to grow it out, so this is nice for stimulating my scalp and adding strength to my hair. I love it and look forward to using it every week. I massage it into my scalp for 5 minutes, then let it sit there for 30 minutes before rinsing it out in the shower. The minty smell lasts in your hair even after shampooing. It's really nice.

How to use

How to use

Apply generously to the scalp first, gently massaging. Then coat dry hair, leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, and shampoo out. Use about a quarter of a pot for short hair, or about half a pot for longer hair.

Since you're only putting the product on your scalp and not on all of your hair, you should get quite a few uses out of the pot!

Heck no. I have long hair and I getMany uses out of these pots. Normally though I keep this one on my scalp and then get another mask for the ends of my hair. This mask is so minty it's perfect for the roots. But as of your question no use as little or as much as you want. EnjoyThank you.•Ariel Ketchner Harkness

It depends on what you are trying to use it for? I use it to work on areas of my scalp where my hair is thinning. If you are using it for your hair and you have long or lots of hair then id say yes. If you are trying to use it to help your scalp I would say half the pot is a bit much.

Q:

I started using Roots about a month ago. I have also used H'Suan Wen Hua and I actually use Retread daily (or every other day) along with the cinnamon shampoo bar.I have noticed some hair growth (I have alopecia-and after about one year of no hair growth in the front of my scalp, I was estatic that new hair is finally growing in!)HOWEVER, I feel that my hair feels thinner and I feel like I lose more hair than usual when using the products. Am I using too much product? I do use it according to the instruction on the bottles, but I am a little worried that these products are counteractive.HELP!!! Suggestions?

I definitely think that you may be using too much product. Washing your hair excessively is one of the main causes for hair falling out. I also think you should be using only one hair treatment a week so those great ingredients won't be counter-productive. I suggest washing your hair two to three times a week with your NEW! shampoo along with a lighter conditioner that won't weigh down you hair, something like American Cream. Then, I would recommend using Roots once a week to cleanse your scalp and encourage scalp health.

Hi, I use Roots also, about once or twice a month. I also use Retread daily but I use either Blousey or Curly Gurly shampoo. Sometimes Big Salt (is that the name?).

I also seem to notice more hair loss, but I think it is from the vigorous rubbing and massaging I do with the products.

Did you know your hair changes structure about every 7 years?

I went through the same experience. Later realised that I have to be gentle while massaging the roots as they are weak. Rubbing the scalp vigorously when you have weak roots isn't beneficial. Try that and see how it worksSent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Q:

I have been bleaching my hair blonde for about a year now and have noticed my hair is thinning. Will this help stop the hair loss? Will it thicken my hair? Is it safe to use on dyed hair?

Roots will help stimulate the scalp and give it everything it needs for healthy hair growth, but with that said, hair loss tends to be due to genetics and hair processing. Another tip is to work on adding nutrients to the strands themselves with hair masks, as they will strengthen the strands so you have less breakage.

All good hair growth starts from the root of the hair so if you take good care of your scalp your more likely to have amazing hair. This is an all natural product I don't see why it would hurt on bleached hair. I don't know if it will stop hair loss that's also a natural thing the hair does. Your going to lose hair daily. I would buy it to try out and also by another mask but the ultra thick one H'Suan wen hua and start putting that on your hair to repair the damage! Good luck!Thank you.•Ariel Ketchner Harkness

Hi Lindsey,

Roots is a great pre-shampoo conditioner. I use it and I color my hair. I don't know if it will really thicken the hair shaft--does anything? But it smooths the cuticle so that the hair shaft is stronger.

By the way, I use Blousey shampoo on my colored hair. I too am blonde and the banana in Blousey keeps the color looking bright but doesn't strip the color.

Don't you love LUSH?

I used this for the same reason as you however, after my second use my hair was falling out in clumps in the shower so i would stay away from this product if i were you

You're welcome to use whichever shampoo that you like, so there is no need to worry about using a certain type!

It's up to you and your hair type, my hair isn't oily ever so I normally use like Blousy because it's also conditioning and gives my curls extra bounce. But on days I want a more stripping less oil I but in retread. But another reason why I use this product is because I get head aches and the peppermint stimulate my head and makes them go away so that's another use if you want to try it out. But honestly keep with non stripping if you can because then there is no point in putting this lovely mask in your hair. Just listen to your hair and obviously don't use the whole pot be patient and work it in. :)Thank you.•Ariel Ketchner Harkness

Q:

Does this product ruin hair color? I dye my hair black and bleach it blonde as well.

This product is a treatment that is great for all hair types. Just make sure that you rinse it our well after use as it is a treatment not a conditioner. If you are worried about he olive oil inside making your hair oily there is SLS in the Roots formulation which is a sudsing agent which acts like a soap.

Q:

Should I use conditioner after I shampoo this product out of my hair? Is it needed or will this product give me the feeling that conditioner does?

You can condition for extra moisture, but it's not necessary! You can also just use it as the conditioner and omit a regular conditioner.

You can do either. I use a light conditioner, rinse and then let Roots soak into just the top of my scalp while I finish the rest of my shower. I have alot of hair, but it is really fine and this product does not weigh it down. My husband works it throughtout his hair and uses it as a conditioner alone. Roots leaves your hair soft and your scalp feeling fresh and tingly. You can't go wrong either way.

Q:

I leave Roots for 20 mins and then just rinse off without shampooing because i like how my hair feels just by rinsing it off. Would this damage my hair/scalp?

Roots will help condition and strengthen the hair. The peppermint will revitalize the scalp which can help encourage healthy hair growth but it won't necessarily help it grow.

This will definitely make your hair stronger and shinier but you have to be really careful how you put Roots on. It kind of feels like soft wax when it's applied so don't try to comb your hair through. The best way for you would probably to divide your hair into sections and apply to each section separately, then massage your scalp a little and.. just kinda let your hair be. Tie it loosely or wrap it in saran wrap (as I do). The first time I used Roots I tried to comb my hair through with my fingers and I pulled handfuls of them out. I'm quite positive you'll like the results, though, Roots definitely delivers. A full head of shiny hair:)

I would recommend no more than once a week, but really you can use it however frequently works best for you! It is stable at room temperature, so you can store it where ever you would like.

Hey! I use mine about once a week and just store it in the tub in the shower. Nothing special. I also use it before shampoo and then I like to use something like the honey shampoo or Big to wash it out depending on what I'm doing afterwards.Sent from my iPhone

Q:

I was wondering if its a good idea to use the big shampoo after using the roots hair treatment or would that be too clarifying and counteract the product?

While Roots does work to condition, strengthen, and add shine to hair without weighing it down, it will not thicken the hair, as the type of hair you have comes down to genetics. Roots does, however, work to provide volume and lift, which will give the hair the appearance of being thick!

Having a healthy scalp is like having good soil to grow veggies. Extra virgin olive oil and honey soften and condition hair to make it shine without weighing it down. Give dull, fine and thin hair volume and shine by treating it with Roots.

If you look in our customer reviews, you'll see that some customers have had a good experience with Roots in the case of hair loss prevention. Hope this helps!

Q:

I just bought a jar of this yesterday and noticed that the "best used by" date is only 2-3 days from now. How important/accurate is this date? Did I just waste 20 bucks on an expired product??

Roots has a shelf life of 14 months from the date that it's made, so if you bought it recently, you should have about a year to use it! Our expiration dates are typically printed out in DD-MM-YY format.

It's really up to the individual how often they want to use a product, but we generally recommend giving at least a day between treatments, so you could use it 2-3 times a week. You may also find that over time you can reduce how often you use it, moving to 1-2 times a week or less.
